I've three cats, the youngest of which has been a little grumpy when picked up recently. I'd not thought much of it as none of them are really what you could call lap cats and will all tell you firmly to put them the hell down. However, went to shift him tonight and got a wet hand. Flipped him over and it looks like he has an abcess in, for want of a better word, his armpit. It looks huge:( there's no way I would have spotted it if I hadn't picked him up just so though, so I am wondering how long he has had it and how much pain he has been in.
I'm going to try to get him into the vets tomorrow, but am quite worried. He's about 4, and although he annoys the living chuff out of me at times I don't want him to be in pain:( Any ideas on what to expect? It's oozing puss in one or two places:(
